Product details
Overview
PI5A4157CEX from Diodes Incorporated is a low-voltage, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch with 0.8Ω typical on-resistance at 3.0V, rail-to-rail signal range, 150 MHz bandwidth, and break-before-make switching. It operates from 1.65V to 5.5V and supports mobile handset baseband I/O interfacing without level-shifting.
For engineers reviewing the PI5A4157CEX datasheet, PI5A4157CEX pinout, PI5A4157CEX application, or PI5A4157CEX equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (<0.4Ω over 0–4.5V), control input overvoltage tolerance (5.5V min), fast transition time (12ns at 5V), and ultra-low quiescent current (≤0.1 µA).
Technical Context
The PI5A4157CEX implements a CMOS transmission gate architecture with independent voltage-tolerant control logic, enabling direct interface with sub-3.3V baseband processor GPIOs while powered from higher VCC rails. Its break-before-make timing (6–20 ns) prevents signal shorting during channel switching.
It delivers high-fidelity analog switching via low charge injection (35 pC at 5V), low THD (0.015% at 20Hz–20kHz), and high off-isolation (–70 dB), making it suitable for audio routing and precision sensor multiplexing in battery-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RON (Typ) | 0.8Ω at 3.0V - enables minimal signal attenuation in audio and sensor paths |
| Bandwidth | 150 MHz - supports high-speed video and USB 1.1 signal routing |
| tON / tOFF | 9–18 ns / 10–20 ns - ensures rapid channel switching for dynamic signal reconfiguration |
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - allows operation across Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rails |
| Charge Injection | 35 pC at 5V - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes like ADC inputs |
| OIRR | –70 dB - provides strong channel-to-channel isolation in multi-source routing |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial and portable consumer environments |
Pinout & Package
PI5A4157CEX is packaged in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-pin SC70 (SOT363) package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (B1) | Switch Input Port 1 | Secondary analog input path; connects to A when S = 1 |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for analog signals and supply current; must be low-impedance |
| 3 (B0) | Switch Input Port 0 | Primary analog input path; connects to A when S = 0 |
| 4 (A) | Common Output/Data Port | Shared analog output node; routed to B0 or B1 based on S state |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive Supply Rail | Power source for internal logic and switch bias; sets RON and bandwidth |
| 6 (S) | Digital Control Input | Logic-select line tolerant up to 5.5V regardless of VCC; no level shifter needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports full VCC-range signal swing without clipping or distortion |
| Break-before-make timing | Guaranteed 6–20 ns dead time prevents momentary short between B0/B1 |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | ≤0.1 µA at VCC = 5.5V - extends battery life in always-on mobile subsystems |
| Control input overvoltage tolerance | 5.5V absolute max on S pin - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| Low on-resistance flatness | ≤0.4Ω variation across 0–4.5V input range - preserves signal linearity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSM1014ICT | Higher RON (1.5Ω typ at 3V), lower bandwidth (80 MHz), no break-before-make guarantee | Suitable for non-critical digital bus switching but not precision audio or sensor paths | Prefer where cost sensitivity outweighs signal integrity requirements |
| MAX4677EUT+T | Lower charge injection (15 pC), wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C), but larger SOT23-6 footprint | Better suited for automotive-grade instrumentation requiring extended thermal margin | Choose when operating above 85°C ambient or needing tighter glitch control |
Compared with TSM1014ICT and MAX4677EUT+T, the PI5A4157CEX offers optimal balance of ultra-low RON, guaranteed break-before-make, and sub-1µA quiescent current-making it ideal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive mobile designs where analog fidelity and GPIO compatibility are critical.

FAQ
Is PI5A4157CEX compatible with 1.8V logic control signals when VCC = 3.3V?
Yes. The S input is overvoltage-tolerant up to 5.5V and functions correctly with logic-high thresholds as low as 0.9V at VCC = 1.65V. At VCC = 3.3V, VIH is specified at 1.1V min, so standard 1.8V GPIO outputs fully satisfy the high-level requirement without level shifting.
What is the maximum continuous current per channel?
The PI5A4157CEX supports up to 128mA DC current per channel, verified under maximum ratings. However, sustained operation above 100mA increases junction temperature and degrades RON flatness; design guidance recommends limiting steady-state current to ≤100mA for optimal performance and thermal stability.
Does PI5A4157CEX require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the S pin?
No. The S input has defined VIH and VIL thresholds across all VCC conditions and must be driven actively HIGH or LOW. Floating the S pin is prohibited per datasheet note; external biasing is unnecessary if the driving GPIO has push-pull output capability.
Can PI5A4157CEX be used in bidirectional analog signal paths?
Yes. As a CMOS transmission gate, it supports true bidirectional analog signal flow between A and either B0 or B1. Signal direction is determined by external circuitry-not device architecture-and performance parameters (RON, capacitance, bandwidth) apply equally in both directions.
